It's December 31st, 1979. Eric is flying back from Africa. Donna has decided to leave for college. Fez and Jackie are officially a couple, Kelso shows up and Hyde has a special surprise for Red!
While the whole basement bunch meanly joins in with the school-wide ridiculing of poor Kelso, who made a painful fall in the canteen hurting the inside of his soiled trousers, constantly calling him ...
Eric Forman is a typical high school student growing up in Wisconsin in 1976 with his family and his friends. Together, they have the same kind of joys and sorrows that just about every teenager has while growing up. This show parodied many of the attitudes, events and fads of the 70s, along with those who grew up at the time.Written by

Kelso's reduced role (and ultimate absence) in the later seasons was because Ashton Kutcher had wanted to explore more opportunities and start venturing into big budget Hollywood movies, and asked for his character to have a reduced role in the series. See more »
Goofs
The stereo on top of the bookcase in Eric's basement looks like one that would have been made in the 80's or even the early 90's. Definitely not one that would have been made before or in 1976. See more »
Quotes
Red:
[after having a bucket of oatmeal dumped on his head]
What the hell is going on?
Eric:
Dad, it was just a prank that went wrong. Horribly... *horribly* wrong.
Red:
Really? Well I have a prank too. One where my foot *doesn't* plow through your ass! Let's hope it doesn't go horribly, *horribly* wrong!

Crazy Credits
In the episode "Christmas" (6x07) the "That '70s Show" title is decorated with Christmas tree balls again. During the opening credits Christmas bells can be heard. This was used before in episode 4x12. See more »
Alternate Versions
During the original FOX run, the episodes featured a lot of music from that time-line. However, in order to avoid paying royalties, most of the music was changed with generic music starting with syndication airings, and these changes remained on the DVD and Blu-ray releases. See more »
This is a really funny show indeed. The script is good and never fails to deliver new ideas. After seven seasons, the show hasn't got boring and that credits must go to the writers. There are some very interesting and funny characters like Red Forman, Fez or regular guest characters like Leo. The actors are quite good, especially Danny Masterson or Wilmer Valderrama (he got a fabulous accent) or Debra Jo Rupp. At first Mila Kunis was really bad but she got better as the show advanced. It is good that the story advanced really well along these seasons. And I like the way they capture the '70s atmosphere, like through the references of the movies or music.
And the title song rocks.
